Dear Michael

If I understand your last message, you want to be able to change the placement of the "log rank P= 3.67" text. If so, you can control that by the coordinates specified in the "text()" option. For example, if you do this...

sysuse cancer.dta, clear
stset studytime
drop if drug==3
sts test drug
local chi_res  logrank P = `=round(r(chi2), .01)'
sts graph, by(drug) risktable text(.95 28 "`chi_res'", size(small) col(red))

The text will be displayed in the upper right corner, because the coordinates are y=.95 x=28. You can fiddle with those (Y,X) values to place the text whereever yo like. I hope that helps,

Michael N. Mitchell

Thanks Phillip! This gives me the idea. May I ask:
* regardless of what place option I use: ne, se, nw, sw, etc., they all put the text box in the lower left corner. I've read -help compassdirstyle- and
    * bexpand also doesn't expand the size of the box.

I note you wanted a "window".  Here is a box instead. I also correct my
misuse of the return scalars :-(


sysuse cancer.dta, clear
stset studytime
drop if drug==3
sts test drug
local chi_P  logrank P = `=round(chi2tail(r(df),r(chi2)), .01)'
sts graph, by(drug) risktable text(.05 5 "`chi_P'", place(ne) box
size(small) col(red))

Meier graph

Dear Statalist members,
I'm creating a Kaplan-Meier graph, and also performing the log-rank
test of equality, for example:

sysuse cancer.dta, clear
stset studytime
drop if drug==3
sts graph, by(drug) risktable
sts test drug

My question: is it possible to display the results of the log-rank
test in a small window within the area of the Kaplan-Meier survival
curve?
